When alphabetical or other fixed order answer options are displayed in multiple columns, the order is following a left to right orientation (row 1, row 2) rather than exhausting column 1 and then moving to the top of column 2. Readers expect the latter, in my experience.

I concur with this. Is this now possible?

Hi there,
One of our programmers has built a tool that you can use to do this. You'll want to take the options from the bulk edit link to make this easier for you.
The following tool is available: http://personal.speakitplain.com/reorder.php
Also allows for sorting alphabetically.
Without the tool:
a
b
c
d
e
f
Shows as:
ab
cd
ef
Using the tool it will give you the 'options' in an order so that it displays:
ad
be
cf
Hope that helps!

I'm using the tool to set 76 choices into 3 columns. The tool adds an “N/A” choice 3rd from the end in order to keep the columns in the correct order. If I remove “N/A” the order of the last two choices gets shifted into the incorrect columns. I would rather not have “N/A” as a choice. Is there anything I can do?

Hey, Jon!
I'm having a hard time visualizing what you've described. What survey do you have this set up in, and which question is it?

here's an example
The tool in the previous post adds “n/a” to my list in order to keep the columns (top to bottom) in alphabetical order. If “n/a” was not there Dr. Jones and Dr. papanicolaou would be out of order.
My current fix for this is to add another column. It makes the list slightly wider than I want, but I don't have to have “n/a”.

Hi Jon,
Unfortunately there currently isn't a way to order the columns of your checkbox options.
We do have a feature upgrade in the works that will better order your checkbox options automatically when you put them into columns. Although I cannot give you an exact timeframe on when this will be complete.
